Acute overventilation does not cause lung damage in moderately hemorrhaged swine
Abstract
Appropriate airway management is essential in trauma and critically ill patients. Prolonged mechanical ventilation can result in overventilation-induced lung barotrauma, but few studies have examined the consequence of acute overventilation. We investigated the outcome of hemorrhage followed by 1 h of overventilation in swine. We found that acute overventilation, as could be seen in the prehospital phase of trauma care, does not produce evidence of adverse effects on otherwise healthy lungs following moderate hemorrhage.
